Chapter 1559 : The Path to Patriarchal Might

You must understand, that Patriarch Level Divine Ability [a supreme-level supernatural power], is something only a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [the highest echelon of immortal cultivators] can create.

As far as Eldrin Chen knew, Patriarch Level Divine Ability [a supreme-level supernatural power] possessed immense and terrifying power. Their cultivation prerequisites were either exceedingly stringent or their comprehension was profoundly difficult. Generally, only an Ancient Immortal Great Power [a mighty figure who has weathered countless tribulations] could begin to grasp them.

Those capable of mastering a Patriarch Level Divine Ability [a supreme-level supernatural power] while still at the Celestial Immortal Realm [the realm of celestial immortals] were true seeds of a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [the highest echelon of immortal cultivators]. Among the thousand or so Celestial Immortal Great Power [powerful celestial immortals] within the Vast Azure Immortal Domain,

even if one included those few Ancient Immortal [ancient immortals], the number who had successfully cultivated a Patriarch Level Divine Ability [a supreme-level supernatural power] likely did not exceed ten.

Void Patriarch had created his own Half-Step Patriarch Level [a quasi-supreme level] 'Void Sword Art' [a sword technique of the void], and with it became one of the ten strongest figures in the Vast Azure Immortal Domain. This alone demonstrated the formidable might of a true Patriarch Level Divine Ability [a supreme-level supernatural power].

Returning to the matter at hand, after deducing the path to elevate his three Divine Ability [supernatural powers] to the Half-Step Patriarch Level [quasi-supreme level], Eldrin Chen discovered that mastering them would require not only exceptional comprehension and innate talent,

but also the consumption of catalysts such as 'Supreme Grade World-Opening Thunder Source' [the primordial source of world-sundering thunder] or 'Five Elements Origin' [the origin essence of the five elements]—treasures classified as Supreme Grade World-Opening Marvel [primordial wonders of the highest grade].

And this was only because these Divine Ability [supernatural powers] were tailor-made by Eldrin Chen himself, allowing their cultivation requirements to be simplified to an extreme degree.

If another sought to master these abilities, the mere prerequisite of wielding the Primordial One Limitless Rule [the foundational law of limitless unity] would be an insurmountable barrier, stopping them dead in their tracks.

Even Exquisite Jiang's Great Five Elements Limitless Rule [the supreme law of the five elements], while mighty, would find it exceedingly difficult to cultivate Eldrin Chen's Primordial One Energy [the primordial energy of unified origin]. For the best reading experience, visit @udio-novel.com.

It is not entirely impossible. If she can procure five types of Innate Primordial Essence [the purest foundational energies of creation] and refine them with Primordial Chaos Energy [the undifferentiated energy from before the cosmos formed], she could compensate for the condition of 'Primordial One Limitless Rule' [the foundational law of boundless unity] required by Eldrin Chen.

This is only possible because Exquisite Jiang wields the 'Great Five Elements Rule' [the supreme law governing metal, wood, water, fire, and earth]. For anyone who does not command a Five Elements Rule, no amount of treasures would ever allow them to cultivate such a Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power].

Of course, over the years, using Primordial One Energy [the energy of ultimate unity] as a reference, Exquisite Jiang has already created her own 'Primordial Five Elements Energy' [a divine ability manifesting the primordial power of the five elements].

This Divine Ability can be divided into the 'Primordial Five Elements Energy Grasping Hand' [a hand formed from the five elemental energies to seize and crush] and the 'Primordial Five Elements Energy True Aura' [a protective aura of the five elements]. It is essentially a simplified version of the Primordial One Energy.

Although its power is somewhat lower than the original, through Exquisite Jiang's continuous refinement, it seems to be approaching the level of a Mysterious Grade Divine Ability [a divine ability of the highest, most profound grade].

Returning to the matter at hand, although Eldrin Chen had deduced all three of his Innate Divine Ability [divine abilities inherent to one's nature] to the Half-Step Patriarch Level [a realm just below that of a Patriarch], he lacked the required catalytic ingredients for cultivation. Thus, he had to temporarily set aside thoughts of advancing them.

After setting aside those three Divine Ability, he turned his focus to deducing the 'Great Deduction Polarity Stars Path' [a profound art of divination using the polar stars]. After ten thousand years, he finally elevated this Divine Ability to the Mysterious Grade [the highest grade of profundity].

He then proceeded to master this Mysterious Grade Divine Ability, which brought a deeper enhancement to his Way of Celestial Mechanism [the art of understanding and manipulating heavenly patterns] and his curse arts.

Afterwards, he attempted to deduce the Spatial Law [the laws governing space]. Spending another ten thousand years, he brought that Spatial Law to great completion, and in doing so, comprehended a Mysterious Grade spatial Divine Ability: 'Primordial Unity Void Cosmos Sword Energy' [a sword energy born from the unity of the primordial void and the cosmos].

After comprehending this Divine Ability, Eldrin Chen once again contemplated the 'Chaos Weapon Forging Art' [the art of forging weapons from chaos]. From it, he grasped ten forms of Chaos Ancient Arms [ancient weapons born of chaos], including the Heavenly Blade, ancient swords, treasure pagodas, immortal bells, and divine cauldrons.

Having deduced the Chaos Weapon Forging Art to this profound realm, Eldrin Chen had so thoroughly reshaped it that it had ascended into the domain of Mysterious Grade Divine Ability [a supreme level of mystical technique].

Upon mastering this Divine Ability [a supreme mystical technique], Eldrin Chen discovered that with his activation, the simultaneous manifestation of all ten Chaos Ancient Arms [primordial weapons forged from chaos] could force even a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator on the verge of ascending to the Celestial Immortal realm] into a relentless retreat.

"With the Primordial Unity Void Cosmos Sword Energy and this Chaos Weapon Forging Art, henceforth, even without resorting to my Lifebound Immortal Treasure [a treasure bound to a cultivator's life force] or other Divine Ability, I should be sufficient to contend with one or two Half-Step Celestial Immortal," Eldrin murmured to himself.

Eldrin Chen spoke softly, a flicker of inspiration stirring within his heart.

With his Primordial One Indestructibility Body [a legendary physique of unbreakable resilience] bolstering these two Mysterious Grade Divine Ability, he could handle the vast majority of Half-Step Celestial Immortal without ever revealing his true capabilities.

From now on, he could act freely, cloaking his aura with the Heaven-Deceiving Secret Art [an art to conceal one's presence from heavenly detection] without fear of exposure.

"It seems... I could use another identity to scheme for a Supreme Grade Blessed Land [a land of supreme spiritual fortune]," he contemplated.

A gleam lit Eldrin Chen's eyes as he pondered aloud, "A physical body rivaling the Primordial Unity Immortal Body [the pinnacle immortal physique], the Chaos Weapon Forging Art, the Primordial Unity Void Cosmos Sword Energy, and that Primordial Unity Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword [a sword embodying primordial unity and the power of countless tribulations]..."

"I can perfectly craft the identity of a disciple from a great sect with these."

"Using this to pursue a Supreme Grade Blessed Land would perfectly conceal my true self, avoiding the attention of those who might watch too closely."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, swiftly suppressing the thought.

The idea was sound, but it required careful refinement to avoid any potential flaws.

After mastering the Mysterious Grade 'Chaos Weapon Forging Art' and 'Primordial Unity Void Cosmos Sword Energy', Eldrin Chen did not immediately continue his cultivation of Divine Ability [profound supernatural techniques] to deduce new cultivation arts.

There were two reasons. The first was that the supply of Enlightenment Tea [a rare spiritual tea that greatly enhances comprehension] was insufficient.

The Chen Clan had a full nine Late Stage Earth Immortal [cultivators at the advanced stage of the Earth Immortal realm]. Each had cultivated for a relatively short time, not even a fraction of what other Earth Immortal [cultivators who have ascended to the terrestrial immortal stage] at their level typically possessed. They all required Enlightenment Tea to refine their personal cultivation arts and Divine Ability. The three thousand or so leaves of Enlightenment Tea were simply not enough.

The second reason was Eldrin Chen's own cultivation limitations. Years of accumulated insights had been fully digested, and his foundational knowledge and perspective were still far from sufficient. Even with the aid of Enlightenment Tea, it was impossible for him to deduce a Patriarch Level Divine Ability [a supreme technique worthy of a Patriarch-level existence]. Enjoyed this chapter?

"It is time for a breakthrough in cultivation," he declared.

Setting aside the pursuit of Divine Ability, Eldrin Chen emerged from his deep meditation and realized his spiritual power [the energy cultivated by immortals] had long since reached its peak capacity.

Unbeknownst to him, fifteen thousand years had passed in secluded cultivation.

During those fifteen millennia, he had refined nearly twenty Galaxy Star Sand Pill [pills containing the essence of stellar sands], aided by three supreme-grade World-Opening Ancient Tree [ancient trees imbued with primordial world-creation energy] and ten high-grade World-Opening Spiritual Root [spiritual roots containing traces of primordial creation power]. Finally, his reserves of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy [the most fundamental and potent energy of creation] had been filled to completion.

With his cultivation cycle now complete, Eldrin Chen did not hesitate for a moment.

He took a slow, deep breath and immediately began his assault on the Eighth Level Earth Immortal realm. Before long, he had shattered the threshold completely and stepped firmly into the Eighth Level Earth Immortal.

Upon breaking through to the Eighth Level Earth Immortal, Eldrin Chen discovered his Earth Immortal World [the inner world cultivated by an Earth Immortal] had expanded by thirty percent, leading to a massive surge in his spiritual power.

Within his Returning Abyss Realm, the seven strands of Heaven Earth Profound Yellow [a primordial spiritual essence of heaven and earth] he had previously refined increased by another two, bringing the total to a formidable nine strands.

By Eldrin Chen's estimation, once he advanced one more step into the Ninth Level Earth Immortal realm, he would condense a total of thirteen strands of Heaven Earth Profound Yellow.

At that point, his spiritual power would undergo a qualitative leap, and his combat prowess would see a significant jump.

Most crucially, upon entering the Ninth Level Earth Immortal realm, the first Primordial Unity Ancient Tree [an ancient spiritual tree symbolizing primordial unity] would emerge within his Earth Immortal World.

Eldrin Chen understood clearly that the advancement of any one of them—the Immortal Peach Tree, the Enlightenment Tea Tree, or the Gale Wind Gourd Vine—would bring about an unprecedented, qualitative transformation in his foundational strength and reserves.

"Just a few more years," he mused. "Once I break through to Earth Immortal Great Perfection and successfully advance the Gale Wind Gourd Vine, the Gale Wind God-Slaying Gourd might finally pose a threat to the Western Abyss Dragon King."

"When that time comes, I shall disguise myself as a disciple of a great sect and target a couple of Blessed Land [a land imbued with potent spiritual energy and fortune]."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly to himself, preparing to once more immerse his mind in secluded cultivation [the practice of refining one's body and spirit through meditation and absorbing spiritual energy].

Yet, not long after, a letter arrived, interrupting Eldrin Chen's continued cultivation.

Early that morning, Eldrin Chen looked at the letter in his hand and said to Exquisite Jiang beside him, "I had intended to cultivate with a single-minded focus, undisturbed by worldly affairs, until I reached the Earth Immortal Great Perfection realm [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal cultivation level]."

"But the Karma [the cosmic principle of cause and effect, action and consequence] I have sought for hundreds of thousands of years has finally arrived. In the end, I must still descend the mountain and walk this path." Continue your cultivation journey at audio‑novel.com.
